In the second book of the Wise Woman series, author George MacDonald leads the reader on an unexpected adventure as we follow the Princess Irene and the miner boy, Curdie, into the underworld of cunning goblins and back to the heavenly rooms of her grandmother, the wise woman. With commentary notes by Christian author Jeri Massi, this is an excellent book for ages 12 and above, or a great read-out-loud book for the whole family.
